Darius' Words - Epic Iranian Music

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 พ.ค. 2024
  • Music & vocals by Farya Faraji. Please note that this isn't reconstructed Achaemenid era music, it's entirely modern Iranian music sung to Old Persian lyrics from that era.
    The lyrics are part of the Behistun inscriptions in Kermanshah, Iran, a monumental set of rock reliefs and inscriptions written inside Mount Behistun not long after the coronation of Darius I as emperor of the Achaemenid Empire.
    The music uses a variation of Segah, one of our traditional modes and one of our most microtonal ones. The melody modulates between Segah and Shur from time to time. I also employed a technique of playing the tanbour found most often in Eastern Iran and especially Iranian Turkmenistan, the latter region in which I grew up as a child. Iranians in these regions play the dotar using parallel fifths, which gives it a distinct sound to the purely monophonic forms of playing found in other parts of the country. The instruments used are the tar, the dotar, the oud, the ney and the daf drums.
    Lyrics in Old Persian:
    Thâtiy \ Dâra yavauš \ xšâyathiya \ imâ \ dahyâva \ tyâ \ manâ \ patiyâita \ vašnâ \ Auramazdâha \ manâ \ badakâ \ âhatâ \ manâ \ bâjim \ abaratâ
    Hya \ âgariya \ âha \ avam \ u
    bartam \ abaram \ hya \ arika \ âha \ avam \ ufrastam \ aparsam
    English translation:
    King Darius says: These are the countries which are subject to me; by the grace of Ahuramazda they became subject to me; they brought tribute unto me.
    Within these lands, whosoever was a friend, him have I surely protected; whosoever was hostile, him have I utterly destroyed.

    Came here after seeing the video about Orientalist music. Safe to say that I'm only questioning why this music isn't more present in western media now. The microtonality of the mode used here isn't even that jarring, and in fact I even prefer this flavor over the stereotypical Orientalist kind of music. I could easily see this song replace the usual soundtrack for a climactic moment in a film or game, especially since it has such a strong central hook much like any memorable song.

      @@mennyboy1528 Just like Herodotus, Ctesias claims that Cyrus the great died fighting Iranian tribal people except that instead of Massagetaes in central Asia (which as you can see in Cyrus the great conquest maps and Darius the great's inscriptions was already part of the empire), Cyrus fought Iranian people called Derebices/Derbikes reinforced by troops from Indian lands, in Tabaristan (where I live) satrapy of Hyrcania
      According to Ctesias, Amoraeus and his two sons, led a rebellion against Cyrus and allied themselves with Indians (probably from Indus valley which a large part of it was conquered by Cyrus and later the rest was conquered by Darius), Cyrus personally went to Hyrcania to crush this rebellion
      Hyrcania was way closer to Cyrus capital than central Asia was, and don't forget that Cyrus was 70 years old when he died and couldn't go in the middle of central Asia from the south of modern day Iran at that age back then, therefore it makes more sense if his last battle was actually in Hyrcania which isn't that far
      The two armies fought each other in a battle but none of them got the upper hand until the Derbikes elephants (provided by Indians) that were placed in ambush, attacked the Achaemenid cavalry and caused Cyrus to fall off his horse due to the horse panicking
      An enemy soldier throwed a javelin at him when he was still on the ground, which mortally wounded him, but, he didn't die right there
      The Achaemenid troops quickly reorganised, held their ground and Cyrus Javidan/Immortal guard, shielded and returned him to their camp to get treated while the rest of his men repelled the Derbike army
      The first day of the battle seems to have been a tie and probably both armies went back to their camps by nightfall with both sides suffering heavy casualties
      One of Cyrus satraps, Amorges, a Saka/Scythian king, came to his aid and reinforced his army with 20,000 Saka cavalry
      This helped the Achaemenid army to turn the tides to Cyrus favor and win the battle which resulted in death of the Derbike king, Amoraeus, and both his sons
      The Achaemenids lost around 10,000 men while the Derbikes lost 30,000
      Cyrus declared Kambiz/Kambujiye/Cambyses, as his successor and died three days later after his final battle due to that javelin wound and was burried in his tomb in Pasargad/Pasargadae
      I'll explain why this story makes more sense in my next comment but it's going to be long

      @@goodfortune4317 Yes, you are very right. Also, other countries have the same problem. For example, In Iran people call Hellas (Greece) as Yonan. Yonan is the name of Ionian tribes in western Anatolia not the entire Hellas. Then, Arabs and Turks and Indians also followed Iranians call Hellas as Yonan. China comes from the Qing dynasty in manchu they were not even Han chinese who make the majority of China, but since they formed the first empire every one in Europe called them China, Iran call them Chin, Arabs call then Al-Sin. Indians almost the same. There alot of the same issue everywhere.

    Is it possible for you to compose music telling the life of Tigranes the Great, similar to what you did for Augustus, Caesar and others? It would be cool to see, since he has a very interesting life story, starting as a hostage in the Parthian court and, a few years later, becoming the most powerful man east of Rome. I can already imagine how beautiful a symphony it would be with Roman, Persian, and Armenian musical combinations.
